Sanford In Argentina, Not On Appalachian Trail, He Says On Return

His cheatin' heart, lying lips, and and mean spirit done him in. My sympathy to his wife and children.



He can kiss being President goodbye.

TV SoundOff: Sunday Talking Heads

Unfortunately, I was too slow to reach the remote and failed to cut off Meet the Press before hearing that whiner Fred Thompson's spew nonsense. How can a show make a person be really, really grateful that Sam Nunn was defender of good? Have boring old saggy Fred Thompson that's how.



See what happens when you finally sleep late knowing that some other person will watch the talking heads for you and give you the high and low points without having to be subjected to George Will's whine, Cokie Roberts' kookiness, and Fox News' Chris Wallace attempt to be half the reporter his old man was on CBS. I like Bob Schieffer but I still don't like the flapping lips that are often booked on his show.



Whew! That brought out the crankiness in me. Anyway, thanks and better you than me Jason.

TV SoundOff: Sunday Talking Heads

Jason,



I lasted two seconds with each show. I tried. I just seem not to be able to sit through nonsense from the GOP and a couple times from the Democrats.



I cannot see Iran being this volatile over their election sans the Obama Muslim World speech. That said, the President seems to be a patient long range thinker/planner. That speech may pay off late next year after the Iranian students get their teeth in a real rant. I was in college when the few Iranian students in Baton Rouge held so many protest marches and parades about the Shah of Iran that you would have to be blind not to get that they felt grieved. Those student protesters were consistent and persistent. Getting the attention of a backwoods student body consumed with getting ahead and having fun in such a desolate town was and still is remarkable. I still remember the hanging effigies.



I have faith that the youth of Iran will do what they must for their future in their country. Just like here the youth are becoming more aware and serious about our country and how they will make their way in it. I have great faith in young people everywhere to save us by saving themselves.
